Dexmethylphenidate

Common Name

Dexmethylphenidate Description

Dexmethylphenidate is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is the dextrorotary form of methylphenidate. It is used for treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Methylphenidate blocks dopamine uptake in central adrenergic neurons by blocking dopamine transport or carrier proteins. Methylphenidate acts at the brain stem arousal system and the cerebral cortex and causes increased sympathomimetic activity in the central nervous system.Methylphenidate is a catecholamine reuptake inhibitor that indirectly increases catecholaminergic neurotransmission by inhibiting the dopamine transporter (DAT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET), which are responsible for clearing catecholamines from the synapse, particliarly in the striatum and meso-limbic system.

    General function:
    Involved in neurotransmitter:sodium symporter activity
    Specific function:
    Serotonin transporter whose primary function in the central nervous system involves the regulation of serotonergic signaling via transport of serotonin molecules from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal for re-utilization. Plays a key role in mediating regulation of the availability of serotonin to other receptors of serotonergic systems. Terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner.
